| - There's something about a hot dog shop that actually has the words 'hot dog shop' in its title that makes it feel that much more authentic. I have been near this place many times, but never had the time to stop in until recently. I am so happy that I did, it satisfied my craving I was having that day for a nice plump hot dog.
I came in close to the end of their day, but more than enough time to enjoy a quick meal before I headed out to complete my tasks at hand. I was greeted warmly by the busy-as-bees ladies behind the counter and decided to sit up at the diner-esque counter. They let me sit for a bit so I could collect myself and look over the menu. After a few minutes I decided on an order of two chili dogs and some shoestring fries. It wasn't long and they were working away at the grill.
Now if you want a show, sit at the countertop near the entrance. You get to see how fast they make sure that order is coming at you. Even though they had many orders called in for take out, that did not stop them from preparing a fairly hefty plate of food for me. Two freshly plumped hot dogs hot off the grill place in a freshly steamed bun and then topped with their own chili, add to that a nice sized serving of shoestring fries and the plate was full.
I didn't want to look greedy, so I took my time devouring that first hot dog. I didn't want to ruin it in any way, so I ate it as is. The hot dog had great taste and the bun was soft as could be, but the real star of each bite was the chili. This isn't that typical, runny, greasy chili that you receive at just about every place you go, and it's not one that has big chunks in it either. I am not sure on the exact contents of spices that were thrown together for this chili, but the one thing I can tell you for sure is that you will not forget it for a while after you finish it. It leaves your lips tingling, you know that pleasant tingle you get when each time you lick you lips afterwards you still get that little bit of sting. I have eaten many a chili dog in my days and this chili was by far the best. The shoestring fries were a perfect side for this, not too starchy or salty, just a nice compliment.
For the serving I had, the price wasn't bad at all. A little over five dollars for two chili dogs and an order of shoestring fries. A pleasant, calming stop on an extraordinary day. I will definitely come back here, if not for the food then for the charm.
I do have a confession, I did stop here once before, but I had to immediately turn around and leave. It wasn't because of any of the thoughts you might be having, but merely because I hadn't any cash on me. Yes, that means this is a cash only establishment. Which makes for faster service at a high speed place.
